Bug Fixes and Improvements

COMP

Camera COMP / Light COMP - Fixed bug introduced in 2023.11408 where 'Constrain To' parameter entry would not be loaded into new parameters that 'Constrain To' has been converted into ie. 'Parent Transform Source', 'Parent Object'.
Geo Text COMP - Fixed blending problem when using a fallback font.
Replicator COMP - Fixed parameter references/dependancies missing after 'Recreate All' pressed.
Text COMP - Fixed a bug where the 'Text' parameter could be changed incorrectly in Select Only mode due to conflicting line ends.

TOP

TOP - Fixed some cases where TOP memory isn't cleaned up when using unload() mthod or when cooking is disabled in the parent component.
GLSL TOP - Fixed input extend mode/filter not being used for the first input when Passes > 1.
Kinect Azure TOP - Updated Orbbec Kinect SDK to version 1.10.1. Fixed crash when node is switched to inactive and an Info CHOP is connected or python methods are called.
Layout TOP - Fixed crash that can occur with this node in some cases (Apple Silicon M3 crash in particular).
Movie File In TOP - Fixed crash that can occur if the resolution is too large for the GPU.
Orbbec TOP - Updated SDK to 1.10.8. Fixed lag when using the point cloud.

Render Pass TOP - Can no longer have a different pixel format than the Render TOP it's downstream from.
Text TOP - Fixed crash that can occur when using Bitmap font mode on Windows.
Texture 3D TOP - Fixed Pre-Fill not working for old files that contained a Texture 3D TOP.

Video Device In TOP / Video Device Out TOP - Added support for 6G/12G formats for AJA io4K Plus devices.

CHOP

Audio Play CHOP - Information now available in Info DAT to properly represent file paths. Info DAT also includes current volume.
Body Track CHOP - Fixed an issue where the valid channel would not return to zero (when no longer tracking) when using people tracking mode.

MAT

GLSL MAT - Added new #define TD_RENDER_TOP that will be set when the MAT is used in a Render TOP. Useful to avoid errors to do with the Image Outputs when the MAT is being rendered by a Render TOP.
